but on a related note, at school some of my friends go out almost every weekend and spend about 10 dollars a week on parties and whatnot, but i dont go out just because i hate college parties. i go to a show about every month though down in philly (its about an hour and 20 minute drive from my school) and my friends always ask how i can afford "all these shows" and assume im rich, but really if you just take the money they spend on parties every month (probably around 40 dollars) thats enough money for a concert or two, but i dont think they understand that some concerts can be as low as 15 dollars for me

Since I started college in 2006 I kept a list online of about 95% of the shows I've been to. I use Rateyourmusic to compile the list, so a lot of small, local shows I just have forgotten or haven't bothered to put on there. Including those small, local bands with my list I've probably seen well over 200 different bands.

sh*t! i forgot about that show. i was totally on the railing for it in 08. it was pretty weird but i was pretty sure the bassist was really angry at the guitarist for being such a showoff. are they still around? because the way they were acting on stage it looked like they were going to break up the minute they left.

Been lurking in this thread for awhile trying to build of the patience to research my own concert history. After days of internet digging I think I have reconstructed my concert history w/ about %85+ accuracy. I am not counting a song or two seen at a festival or every little local band/open mic night I've been to. Headliners are listed first except for multi band/stage fests, which are listed in the (approx.) order I saw them. All venues are in Tucson, Arizona unless otherwise noted.

I may try to tackle this over the weekend. Going to be tough to get the order right. Just put a bunch of concert tickets into a ticket album thing but I know I don't have tickets from every show I've been to.

I sat down in college (01) and tried to write down every show I've ever seen (including openers) and couldn't do it, so I started making a point to collect all my ticket stubs. It's woefully inadequate given all the times I've bought tickets at the door, etickets, or scored spots on lists, but I started my third shoebox full this summer, and I still pay the extra buck or two for printed tickets when it's an option.

First show I ever saw (that I wanted to go to) was Bush/Goo Goo Dolls/No Doubt in 96 or so (still have the tshirt)

Artist I've seen the most is Barry Manilow. My mom is a super fan who goes 2-3 times a year. This is also my first concert. Artist I've seen second most is The Dead, who I did quite a few shows with for Headcount, although I may have seen Spoon more times by now.
